Position Overview

This role sits within Leverage Homes, the acquisitions arm of our platform. As a Lead Manager, you are the control center of our sales pipeline, responsible for both speed-to-lead on new inquiries and the ongoing nurturing of existing leads until they are ready to sell. You will qualify sellers, build rapport, and maintain consistent follow-up across hundreds of leads.

The goal is simple: make sure no opportunity slips through the cracks, whether it is a brand-new inbound lead or someone who said, “call me next month.” This is a fast-paced, high-volume role that rewards consistency, precision, and drive. You will spend your day on the phones, managing follow-ups, setting quality appointments, and keeping Salesforce perfectly organized. The right person is competitive, coachable, and thrives on seeing their work turn into closed deals and measurable results.

Top performers advance quickly into Senior Lead Manager roles and, over time, into Vice President positions within our acquisitions team, running negotiations, closing transactions, and managing higher-level deal flow.

What You’ll Do

• Respond to new inbound leads immediately, with a goal of under 60 seconds during coverage hours.
• Make more than 100 outbound calls each day to new, active, and nurture leads through our Smart Dialer system.
• Qualify sellers using our frameworks for motivation, condition, timeline, and price.
• Build relationships with warm leads and follow up consistently until timing aligns.
• Set, confirm, and track appointments for Vice Presidents while maintaining strong show rates.
• Keep Salesforce accurate and organized with notes, statuses, timestamps, and next steps for every lead.
• Track and report key metrics including contact rate, appointment set rate, and conversion by source.
• Review your own pipeline weekly to identify missed opportunities or stalled leads.
• Work closely with Marketing and VPs to improve lead quality and overall conversion

What Success Looks Like

• 35% or higher same-day contact rate on new leads.
• 12–20% appointment set rate depending on source.
• 70% or higher show rate through consistent confirmations.
• 100% accuracy in CRM data and lead dispositions.
• Full pipeline coverage with no forgotten leads.

Tools You’ll Use

• Salesforce CRM
• Smart Dialer for click-to-dial and multi-line calling
• SMS and voicemail tools for compliant outreach, performance dashboards for real-time KPI tracking.

Compensation

• Base Salary: $30,000 per year.
• Non-Recoverable Draw: $1,250 per month for the first six months, non-recoverable and resetting monthly.
• On-Target Earnings (OTE): $75,000 to $90,000 or more in year one, with top performers earning $120,000 or more by year two.
• The draw provides stability during your ramp-up period while you master the systems and build consistent production.
• Compensation scales directly with performance.
• The better you get, the faster your income grows.
